Should I get premixed Agar or Agar Agar and make my own?
    #12529034 - 05/08/10 09:17 PM (13 years, 9 months ago)

I have always used premixed MEA for cubensis mushrooms in the past.  I plan on switching to growing gourmet mushrooms very soon.  I am about to reorder some agar as I am almost completely out, and I am trying to decide if I should go with MEA again or if I should get base agar so I can make up different recipes.  Do certain gourmet strains prefer certain recipes or is MEA still okay to use for everything?

Agar flakes and powder are pretty cheap and available everywhere. DIY ftw.

If you get just Agar flakes instead of premade MEA, you can make up lots of different kinds of media. PDA, MEA, and lots of others to use to keep your mycelium vigorous. And making it is pretty easy.

I second, make your own.

Thank you both for the input.  I was leaning toward making my own but wanted to get some feedback.
